Three things the Linux desktops needs to do to beat Windows (ComputerWorld)

Three things the Linux desktops needs to do to beat Windows (ComputerWorld)
[Press] Posted Aug 15, 2008 18:43 UTC (Fri) by ris

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols covers two LinuxWorld panels. "While at LinuxWorld at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, I chaired the panel on what the OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) that are pre-installing Linux on their PCs are up to and I attended another panel on what the Linux desktop architects have planned. One theme that showed up at both functions is: "What does Linux need to do to compete more successfully on the desktop?" We came up with several pain points, but some of them are clearly hurting Linux more than the others. "
